So, I know that I am officially a Roseburgian when I hear people making fun of it, and it offends me! Not the kind of offense that would make me leave a church or anything, just the kind of offense that is like..."Hey, that is my town, don't knock it." And most of the knocking that I have heard comes from Maple Valley. I am not sure what exactly those in Maple Valley have against the sweet town of Roseburg. My only conclusion is that their must be some kind of jealousy that exists. Are they jealous because we have our very own Umpqua Icecream and dairy here? Maybe it is because our Umpqua river is WAY MORE FUN to float than the Cedar River, which only leaves you with a bunch of bruises on your butt. Maybe it is because we have Applebees, and all you have is Glorias! I am not sure where the mocking stems from, but I have a feeling that it all really comes down to the fact that really cool people live and MOVE to Roseburg (i.e. me!) and therefore leaving the town of Maple Valley wondering if there might be something wrong with it. I don't know...but I think I am in a mood to pick a fight! :) After all, I am from the Burg, yo!
